✨🍎Welcome, New Teachers, to the #BedfordCountySchools Team!🍎✨

This week we had the pleasure of welcoming our newest educators at #BCSConnect, a special event designed to support and connect new teachers ahead of the school year.

Over the course of the event, they spent time learning, building relationships and getting equipped for day one. 💻💼📚 From important sessions to team bonding moments, it was a great start to an exciting journey!

#ThankYou to retired educator Mr. Bill Pietkiewicz for delivering a keynote address to our new teachers!

We’re so excited to have these passionate professionals join the #BCSFamily! We can’t wait to see the impact they’ll make in classrooms across our district. Here’s to an incredible year ahead! 🙌

Good afternoon! This is Rebecca Tidwell, principal of Cascade Middle School. We're calling to share an important update regarding state documentation requirements for the 2026–2027 school year. All students must have a current proof of residence dated July 1, 2026, or later on file. For a list of acceptable proof of residence documents and additional enrollment information, please visit the Bedford County Schools website, click Schools, then How to Enroll. To help families complete these requirements, the Cascade Middle office will be open from 9:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. on July 27th, 28th, and 29th. Documents may also be submitted on July 30th during Open House from 3:30-5:30 p.m. Please submit all required documentation no later than August 7th. Students who do not have the required documents on file by that date will not be able to remain at school and will need to be picked up. Any missed time will be considered an unexcused absence until the required documentation has been received. Proof of residence may be emailed to Mrs. Brandi Giel at gielb@bedfordk12tn.net. Additionally, all incoming 7th grade students need to bring an updated immunization certificate to the school. Thank you for your attention to this important matter. We appreciate your help in getting these requirements completed before the start of the school year. Enjoy the rest of your summer, and we look forward to seeing everyone soon!

🌟 A Strong Start to a New School Year! 🌟

This morning, our #BedfordCountySchools Central Office team gathered for breakfast with Superintendent Tim Harwell to kick off the new school year with a message of purpose, unity and a clear vision for the year ahead. 🍎📚

At the heart of the message was a clear priority: our #students. As we move forward, we are committed to working together with purpose to advance our shared mission and support #student success. The Central Office plays an important role in supporting the work happening across our schools, and we recognize that how we lead, serve and treat one another matters as we work toward our shared goals.

As we work toward becoming an exemplary district, our focus will include three key areas:

🎯 Improving K–3 Literacy
🎯 Middle School Academic Success
🎯 College and Career Readiness

Together, we are moving forward with purpose, focused on what matters most: our students and their future. 🚀📖🎓
